2.2 Task Environment: (Porter’s five forces model)
• This point encompasses not only the ease with which a new entrant is able to set up shop in an
industry but the question of sustainability of the set-up is also taken care of in this point. The
Egyptian Pharmaceutical Industry and the Pharmaceutical Industry in general has a high entry
barrier for new entrants wishing to enter into the industry.
• Some of the points that are related to the entry barrier in the pharmaceutical industry in general
are as follows: The presence of economies of scale in manufacturing, R&D, marketing, sales etc.
and Capital requirements and financial resources.
• Already existing companies have a huge advantage in terms of the costs involved in launching
new drugs and formulations.
• For a new entrant to match the economies of scale and R&D capabilities of the incumbent
companies is extremely difficult.
• The Differentiation of the product from the already existing products in the market and creating a
brand awareness in the minds of doctors and pharmacists since the products in this industry are
basically the same and the question of gaining trust of the patient/doctor is extremely important
new entrants can face an extremely tough time in this industry. Also a new entrant would need
time to develop efficient distribution channels and preferred arrangements with
doctors/pharmacists.
• In the pharmaceutical industry, the buyer does not have much power over the manufacturer
because of the presence influencing element in this case, i.e. the doctor.
• However, due to the extremely fragmented nature of the industry and the presence of government
policies which have the power to control prices the low power of the buyers does not have much
effect on the manufacturers.
• The main suppliers to the pharmaceutical industry are mainly the organic chemical industries and
the labor force. The fragmented nature of the chemical industry prevents it from having much
bargaining power over the manufacturers as the switching cost is low for the manufacturers.
Page 21 of 60
2.2.4 Threat of Substitutes:
• The main substitutes to the synthetic pharmaceutical industry would be the emerging
biotechnology chemical industry. Also in a developing country like Egypt, the traditional
medicines also play a major substituting role. But such substitutes don’t have much power over
the pharmaceutical products in Egypt.
